Wondering if anyone is a fan of session drummer that makes some or any rock and roll,indierock,punkrock,metal,pop punk,ect with that solid bug drum sound?I havent really been able or wanted to use it,I use superior drummer and cannot get the same results with any other(although i am sure its possible)I have bfdeco-terrible,ezdrummer-rather use superior drummer,addictive drummer-not that great,metal loops sound cheesy,session drummer sounds too weak(although I have not tried new kits.Native instruments studio drummer,also abbeys roads drummer are ok but most kitd sound similarish and the loops all sound the same.
The loops that came with sonar are not nearly extensive enough for someone who wants to make original drum tracks without repeating the same loop over and over or they are for dance,hip hop,ect.
Any chance sonar would make its content more rock-friendly?

I'm gonna snag BFD Eco because it's on special for $50. Can't really afford it but I don't think I can afford NOT to get it. SD3 has served it's purpose while I was learning but I don't think it's gonna cover all my future needs.

And although the Andy John's kit for SD3 doesn't have a ton of kit pieces it sounds great for what it seems like you want to do. I like it far more than the included content. If you already have it please disregard.

Superior Drummer 2 is great for unprocessed, raw samples with excellent overhead mic'd tracks.  BFD2 is another good one (I don't mean the "Eco" version)

For less money, you might want to look into NI Battery 3.  The sounds are more processed, but there's a number of big sounding drums that will get you going with minimal horsing around. 

Each person's tastes are a little different, so you'll have to check out the demos of various products and see which ones give you the sound you want.  Good luck!

I use Superior 2 and Abbey Road Drummer ...I tend to use Superior a greater percentage of the time ...However I quite like the Abbey Road Drummer sounds and their 'grooves'
I have read a bit of great stuff about the EpiK DrumS – A Ken Scott Collection

http://www.sonicreality.com/epik-drums/

They even have an "educational" version that:
“Education is a surprising side-benefit to the way we approached this project,” Ken Scott said. “By having so much flexibility built into it, it not only works well for professionals, it becomes an excellent teaching tool for anyone learning how to blend and balance drum sounds in a mix.” – Scott G, Music Industry Newswire

Has anyone tried them?
